Child's School Visit
Pre-kindergarten through Grade 1
We ask your child to visit with us in a small group/playdate-like session so that we can get to know your child. Your child will participate in a variety of age appropriate activities with JPDS-NC teachers and other school staff as well as one-on-one activities. During the visit, we will conduct an independent screening. The screening offers a view of your child’s learning style. For Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, the sessions will be held on two Sundays in January.
As part of the screening process for first grade, your child will spend part of the a day in a kindergarten classroom as well as an independent screening. The admission office will contact you to set up a visiting day once your application is received by JPDS-NC.
